(Song Jiang)
Therefore, this book was originally intended to promote the peasant uprising against the decadent rule of the feudal dynasty, so it had to add some chapters on "being recruited".
"Water Margin" is not "Journey to the West", but it also adds a lot of bizarre plots.
, such as the so-called "Thirty-six Heavenly Gang" and " Seventy-two Earth Demons ", as well as the "Book of Heaven" given to Song Jiang by "Nine Heavens Xuanyun Empress", etc., are all the corners of this bizarreness.
(Lu Junyi)
The opening chapter of "Water Margin" tells the story of Taiwei Hong opening the town millstone and releasing 108 black qi.
The 108 black qi is the transformation of the 108 "monarchs", and these monarchs include Song Jiang, Lu Junyi, Wu Song , Lin Chong , Wu Yong, Lu Zhishen , Shi Xiu , Zhang Qing , Sun Erniang , Hu Sanniang and so on.
Time flies, time flies.
In the blink of an eye, the dynasty of the Great Song Dynasty and the dynasty went from the Renzong era to the Huizong era.
Song Huizong is a writer and artist, he is omnipotent in poetry, chess, calligraphy and painting, and he is perfect in everything, but he is not good at governing the country and peace!
(Song Huizong)
He believes in treachery or not in loyalty, he favors Cai Jing , Gao Qiu , Tong Guan , Yang Jian, the four traitorous officials, the ones who are alienated are the loyal ministers!
It's true, the Song Dynasty was dark and dark, and the government was bribery. The imperial court was corrupt and its atmosphere was very bad. Outside the Song Dynasty, it was blackmailed by Liao and Xia, and at home there were many contradictions, and the dynasty was in crisis.
At this time, the one hundred and eight "Demon Lords" had already been reincarnated as human beings, either as small officials (such as Song Jiang), or as professors (such as Wu Yong), or as military generals (such as Lu Tixia), or as People in the public gate (such as Wu Song), or fishermen (such as Nguyen Thi San Hung ), or prison guards (such as Li Kui ), or rogues (such as Bai Sheng ), or generals of the army (such as Zhen Zhen) Sanshan Huangxin, Thunderbolt Qin Ming )...
(Cai Jing)
All in all, it was born in response to the situation, ready to disrupt the chaos of the Song Dynasty.
In "Water Margin", since God intends to use the hand of these 108 "devil lords" to warn Song Huizong, then they will naturally arrange for them to go to Liangshan to gather in the water!
Although Liangshan heroes only fight against corrupt officials and not against the emperor, if they fight alone, none of them are the opponents of corrupt officials! Don't see
, in the chapter "Wu Song's blood splashes in the mandarin duck building", in order to avenge Jiang's god , just one Dujian Zhang almost killed the tiger fighting hero Wu Song!
Such a ferocious tiger on Jingyanggang can't help Wu Song, but Zhang Dujian, a corrupt official, almost killed Wu Song!
(Wusong)
In the end, Wu Song had to be a pirate and was forced to escape to Liangshan to save his life!
In order to save a woman, Lu Zhishen killed " Town Kansai " with three punches, provoked a life lawsuit, and had to become a monk!
In the end, after three detours and two detours, you still have to go to Liangshan to join the team!
Song Jiang killed his concubine Yan Poxi in a fit of rage, and violated the criminal law and was assassinated by the government.
At first, Song Jiang planned to make a good transformation and be a new person. How can
, "God's will is hard to defy" Oh!
(Wu Yong)
Regardless of whether Song Jiang is happy or not, he still has to be "forced" to go to Liangshan.
Huang Nigang , Wu Yong and Ruan Thi Sanxiong, who robbed the "birthday guide", also fled to Liangshan because they were desperate.
As for those officers and generals who "fall into battle", because they are also among the 108 "Demon Lords", they will naturally be arranged by "God's Will" to gather in Liangshan!
"Water Margin" has three turning points.
one is when Chao Gai and others "Zhi Jie Birth Date" and "Huo Bian Wang Lun ".
(Chao Gai)
At this time, the heroes have not yet gathered, and Liangshan's business has not prospered.
Another is when Chao Gai took the first gold spot after "Fire and Wang Lun".
At this time, Liangshan is becoming more and more prosperous, and one hundred orders and eight will be coming one after another.
also has Chao Gai shot to death by Zengtoushi Shi Wengong, after Song Jiang took the lead in Shuibo Liangshan.
At this time, Liangshan heroes have gathered, and defeated Gao Qiu and Tong Guan's encirclement and suppression officers. The
court had nothing to do with Song Jiang and others, and Liangshan also reached its peak.
(Northern Song Dynasty)
According to the general law of the development of things, after the peak, it usually falls into the trough!
Shuibo Liangshan is the same, the mere "eight hundred miles of waterbo", a small Liangshan, how to raise a hundred or eight heroes and tens of thousands of soldiers? !
This time can be regarded as the "bottleneck period" of the development of Shuibo Liangshan, and it can also be regarded as a turning point in the fate of Liangshan heroes!
As a result, "Water Margin" changed the style of writing, and turned the Liangshan hero who was anti-corruption officials and did not oppose the court to Song Jiang and others actively seeking the court's "recruitment" in order to get rid of the identity of thieves and bandits.
Since then, after several negotiations and repeated repetitions, these 100 singles and 8 heroes finally "cultivated to a positive result" and were recruited as "official troops" by the Song Dynasty court.
(was recruited, framed)
At this point, the mission of Shuibo Liangshan has been completed, and Song Jiang, Lu Junyi and others have become generals of the official army!
Since then, the heroes of Liangshan have been fighting for the life and death of the court. It's a pity that under the frame of the four treacherous officials, it only ended up as "destroying the Liao Kingdom in vain, conquering Fang La and losing troops and losing generals"! Under the persecution of the four traitorous officials, even Song Jiang and Lu Junyi could not die...
Conclusion: In "Water Margin", Song Jiang, Lu Junyi and other one hundred and eight generals, in response to heaven and earth, are subject to the "mandate of heaven" "Linfan, in response to the "current situation", rises. Gathering in Liangshan, with the same spirit and water, fighting against corrupt officials, eliminating corrupt officials, and doing justice for the sky. In the end, they "returned the evil and returned to the righteous" and threw themselves into the arms of the Song Dynasty, and they were side by side with the four treacherous officials. No matter what, because the two sides are in different furnaces, it is still difficult to escape the fate of being persecuted by the four major traitors!
